Atrial myxoma is the most common benign tumor of the heart; moreover, atrial myxoma embolization to the peripheral vessels is rare. We present an unusual case of total acute infrarenal aortic occlusion resulting from embolic implantation from a left ventricular myxoma. A 37-year-old man with acute lower limbs ischemia, spinal cord ischemia, and acute renal insufficiency was urgently operated and discharged after surgery.

Abstract:This case reports a case of transection of common carotid artery (CCA) resulting in cerebral ischemia and stroke in 21-year-old-man. A patient was operated after 12 hours from penetrating trauma of CCA with favorable result. Hemiparesis disappeared on the fifth day, subsequently performing the surgery. Speech recovered within the month since the operation took place.
